I have written a standalone app that controls a device through rs-232 port and some customers want to be able to use the device with Labview. I have seen some threads describing where to start when learning to use labview, but I was wondering if anyone has experience with writing a plugin/driver (is that the right word?) for Labview and perhaps point me in the right direction.
The existing app is GUI that allows people to control the device with higher level concepts - rather than have to know the syntax and protocol of the serial port comms stuff. I want to abstract that away as well so that users can just plug something into labview and I suppose it exposes some verbs and methods that allow the device to be manipulated and also provide data to clients.
I think there is a serial port interface from labview, but I am sure the people using this device do not want to have to write the code (parsers and etc) to communicate with the device.
